Hi everyone! I've taken the SAT and ACT a few times, and I'm wondering if I need to report all of my scores or just my highest ones. What's the best approach to take with this? Any help would be appreciated!
Hey there! It's great that you've been proactive in taking the SAT and ACT multiple times. Different colleges have different policies regarding score reporting, so it's essential to check with the specific institutions you're applying to. Some colleges may require you to send all your scores, while others allow you to send your highest ones (also known as 'Score Choice'). If a college is okay with Score Choice, it's generally a good idea to send only your best scores. However, keep in mind that some schools also practice 'superscoring,' which means they consider the highest section scores across all test dates. If that's the case, sending all your scores might be beneficial as it could help you achieve a higher composite score. In any case, always check the individual college's policy and good luck with your applications!
